Printing issue (multiple copies of same job)

Just started to configure a cups print server for a hp2420dn printer.
When I sent the test page after initial printer setup I got 10 copies of
the same thing. Its on RHEL4. Mentioned it in passing to one of my
users and he mentioned that several of times over the last year he has
had multiple copies of the same job from a Linux host (would have been
nice to know when it happened instead of now), which is weird because
that system prints via a Solaris print server to the same printer. All
using generic postscript.

I have seen this several times on hardwired printers that were not getting the printing complete signal back properly due to long lines or noise in the signal.
with Network printing check all the cabling and the routing of those cables if possible. Elevators AC Power Conditioners etc. can generate enough noise .
